< Matthew 21 >

1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage (on *N(k)O*) the Mount of Olives, then (*ko*) Jesus sent two disciples
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem and were come to Bethphage at the mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples,
2 saying to them; (do go *N(k)O*) into the village which [is] (in front *N(k)O*) of you. and immediately you will find a donkey tied and a colt with her; having untied [them] (do bring [them] *NK(o)*) to Me.
saying unto them, Go into the village over-against you, and ye will find directly an ass tied and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me:
3 And if anyone to you may say anything, you will say that the Lord of them need has, Immediately then (he will send *NK(o)*) them.
and if any one say any thing to you, tell him the Lord hath need of them, and he will immediately send them.
4 This then (all *k*) has come to pass that it may be fulfilled that having been spoken through the prophet saying;
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
5 do say to the daughter of Zion; Behold the King of you comes to you, gentle and already riding on a donkey even (upon *no*) a colt [the] foal of a beast of burden.
behold, thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, even a colt the fole of an ass.
6 Having gone then the disciples and having done even as (directed *N(k)O*) to them Jesus,
And the disciples went, and did as Jesus ordered them,
7 they brought the donkey and the colt and put (upon *N(k)O*) them the cloaks (of them *k*) and He sat on them.
and brought the ass and the colt, and threw their clothes over them, and set Him upon them.
8 The now very great crowd spread their own cloaks on the road, others now were cutting down branches from the trees and were spreading [them] on the road.
And great numbers spread their garments in the way, and others cut off boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
9 The now crowds which are going before (Him *no*) and those following they were crying out saying: Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed [is] the [One] coming in [the] name of [the] Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
and the multitudes, that went before and that followed, cried saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: blessed be He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
10 And when was entering He into Jerusalem was stirred all the city saying; Who is this?
And when He came into Jerusalem, all the city was in a commotion, saying, Who is this?
11 And the crowds were saying; This is the prophet Jesus, the [One] from Nazareth of Galilee.
And the people answered, This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth in Galilee.
12 And entered (*k*) Jesus into the temple (of God *K*) and cast out all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money changers He overturned and the seats of those selling the doves.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and drove out all that were selling and buying in the court of the temple, and threw down the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of them that sold doves:
13 And He says to them; It has been written: The house of Mine a house of prayer will be called,’ You yourselves however it (make *N(k)O*) a den of robbers.’
and said to them, It is written, "My house shall be called the house of prayer," but ye have made it a den of thieves.
14 And came to Him blind and lame in the temple, and He healed them.
And there came to Him in the temple both blind and lame, and He healed them:
15 Having seen now the chief priests and the scribes the wonders that He did and the children (who *no*) are crying out in the temple and saying; Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant
but when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonders that He wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were vexed to the heart, and said to Him, Dost thou hear what these say?
16 and said to Him; Hear you what these say? And Jesus says to them; Yes. surely sometime you did read that Out of [the] mouth of babes and sucklings You have prepared for yourself praise’?
And Jesus saith unto them, Yes, have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast procured praise?
17 And having left them He went out of the city to Bethany and He passed the night there.
And He left them and went out of the city to Bethany and lodged there.
18 (Early *N(k)O*) then (he is coming back *NK(o)*) into the city He became hungry,
Now in the morning as He was returning to the city, He was hungry;
19 And having seen fig tree one along the road He came to it and no [thing] found on it only except leaves alone And He says to it; (certainly *o*) no more from you fruit there may be to the age. And withered immediately the fig tree. (aiōn g165)
and seeing a fig-tree by the way, He went up to it, and finding nothing upon it but leaves, He saith to it, Let no fruit ever hereafter grow out of thee: and the fig-tree withered immediately. (aiōn g165)
20 And having seen [it] the disciples marveled saying; How so quickly withered the fig tree?
And the disciples seeing it were amazed and said, How suddenly is the fig-tree withered!
21 Answering now Jesus said to them; Amen I say to you; if you shall have faith and not shall doubt, not only the [miracle] of the fig tree will you do, but even if even if to the mountain this you shall say; do be taken away and do be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
but Jesus answering said unto them, Verily I tell you, if ye have faith and doubt not, ye shall not only be able to do this to a fig-tree, but also if ye shall say to this mountain, "Be thou removed and cast into the sea," it shall be done.
22 And all things as much as (maybe *NK(o)*) you shall ask in prayer believing, you will receive.
And all things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 And (when was coming He *N(k)O*) into the temple came to Him teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people saying; By what authority these things are You doing And who to You gave authority this?
And when He was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him as He was teaching, and said, By what authority dost thou these things, and who gave thee this authority?
24 Answering now Jesus said to them; Will ask you I myself also I myself also thing one, which if you shall tell Me I myself also I myself also to you will say by what authority these things I do.
but Jesus answered them, I also will ask you one question, which if ye tell me, I will likewise tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 The baptism (*no*) of John from where was it? From heaven or from men? And they were reasoning (among *N(k)O*) themselves saying; If we shall say; From heaven, He will say to us; Because of why then not did you believe in him?
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves saying, If we say, from heaven, He will reply, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 If however we shall say; From men, we fear the multitude; all for as a prophet hold John.
But if we say, of men, we fear the people, for they all esteem John as a prophet.
27 And answering Jesus they said; Not do we know. Was saying to them also He himself; Neither I myself tell you by what authority these things I do.
And therefore in answer to Jesus, they said, We do not know: and He said unto them, Neither do I tell you, by what authority I do these things.
28 What however you think? A man had sons two, and having come to the first he said; Son, do go today do work in the vineyard (of mine. *k*)
But what think ye of this? There was a man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go, work to day in my vineyard:
29 And answering he said; Not I want to; Afterward however having repented he went.
and he answered I will not; but afterwards repenting, he went.
30 (and *k*) Having come (then *no*) to the (other *N(K)O*) he said likewise. And answering he said; I myself [will] sir; and not did he go.
And coming to the second, he spake in like manner: and he answered, Yes, Sir; and went not.
31 Which of the two did the will of the father? They say (to him: *k*) The (first. *NK(O)*) Says to them Jesus; Amen I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the kingdom of God.
Now which of the two did the will of his father? They say unto Him, The first. Jesus replied, Verily I say unto you, that publicans and prostitutes enter into the kingdom of God before you:
32 Came for John to you in [the] way of righteousness, and not you did believe in him; however the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed in him. you yourselves then having seen (not even *N(k)O*) did repent afterward to believe him.
for John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but publicans and harlots believed him; and though ye saw that, ye did not repent afterwards, to believe him.
33 Another parable do hear: A man (who *k*) there was a master of a house who planted a vineyard and a fence around it placed and he dug in it a winepress and he built a tower and he rented out it to farmers and he traveled abroad.
Hear another parable, There was a certain man, a master of a family, that planted a vineyard, and made a fence about it, and put a wine-press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and travelled abroad.
34 When then drew near the season of the fruits, he sent the servants of him to the farmers to receive the fruits of him.
And when the fruit-season drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, to receive the fruits of it:
35 And having taken the farmers the servants of him, the one they beat, another and they killed, another and they stoned.
and the husbandmen took his servants and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them likewise.
And he sent again other servants more than the first: and they did the like to them.
37 Afterward then he sent to them the son of him saying; They will respect the son of mine.
At last he sent unto them his Son, saying, They will reverence my Son.
38 But the farmers having seen the son said among themselves; This is the heir; come, let us kill him and (let us have *N(k)O*) the inheritance of him.
But when the husbandmen saw the Son, they said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and seize on his inheritance:
39 And having taking him they cast [him] out of the vineyard and killed [him].
so they took him and cast him out of the vineyard and slew him.
40 When therefore may come the master of the vineyard, what will he do farmers to those?
When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 They say to him; [The] wretches grievously He will destroy them and the vineyard he will rent out to other farmers who will give to him the fruits in the seasons of them.
They answer, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Says to them Jesus; surely sometime you did read in the Scriptures: [The] stone which rejected those building, this has become the chief corner. From [the] Lord was this, and it is marvelous in [the] eyes of us?’
Then saith Jesus to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, "The stone which the builders refused, is made the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?"
43 Because of this I say to you that it will be taken away from you the kingdom of God and it will be given to a people producing the fruits of it.
Therefore I tell you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation, that will bring forth the fruits thereof.
44 And the [one] having fallen on stone this will be broken; on whomever but maybe it may fall, it will grind to powder him.
And he that stumbleth at this stone shall be bruised, but on whomsoever it falls, it will crush him to pieces.
45 And having heard the chief priests and the Pharisees the parables of Him they knew that about them He speaks.
And when the chief priests and pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that He spake of them:
46 And seeking Him to lay hold of they feared the crowds, (because to *N(k)O*) a prophet Him they were holding.
and would have seized Him, but that they were afraid of the people; because they took Him for a prophet.
